Overclocking the Minix

[whoozy]

Hi @all,
there are several ROMs here, that offer overclocking für CPU, GPU an RAM.
I was looking for some feedback on this but couldn't find any.

Therefore my question: Who has experience with overclocking
on the Minix X7? Which clocks are stable, which are not?

i think no one will answer this question

so i will answer it with somethink i think all users will agree with ^^

i found over 20 sites with this question.
it depends on your minix,but 1700 cpu is stable on most devices.
the rest you have to search ;D

Very funny

Sorry for the dumb question.

Nevertheless - some kind of overclocking survey may
give us some more impression of what we are talking
about and how this platform performs above its specs.

Actually my Minix runs with stock clock speeds and
till now I'm fine with that

most of the people have this one -->> cpu 1700,gpu 600 ddr 720 ;D
try it

+1 mate.
That kernel setting is my favorite. The x7 doesn't get too hot and the performance is good.
I tried the 1800cpu_800gpu_800ddr from Finless 1.9 it is mega fast but my x7 got quite warm after a hour or so.
I ended up cranking out a batch of patched kernels to try myself so I'll give more feedback as I test them out.

A survey is not going to answer any real questions about how much a device ( Minix or other ) can be overclocked simply because it all relies on each CPU/GPU and memory.... the other components used in the device will also make some difference .... but it's those 3 components that have the most impact.

Each CPU/GPU differs enough that stating a "safe" speed becomes irrelevant. In otherwords, even in the same batch of processors.... what one can be OC'd to safely another will not. The same will hold true of the memory ( ie DDR ).

The stock speeds are known safe... and most of the time the DDR has no trouble OC'ing at 720. In fact, your biggest performance gain is in the OC'ing of the memory and not so much the CPU/GPU.

The only way to safely say how much a device can be OC'd is by stress testing after it has been OC'd. Start at the stock speeds... then test... then OC one component at a time and test again until you reach a point that OC'ing makes the device unstable and drop back one speed from that... then repeat the process with the next component.

Nice answer dude! I agree.... especially about the biggest gains to performance is via DDR O/C. Most noticeable when booting might I add.

I absolutely agree with that. Still, a survey may be interesting. I'm not asking "what overclocking kernel shall I use". As I stated, currently I don't overclock at all. I find it just usefull to know, for example: some reach 1.8 GHz, most reach 1.7 GHz, but none can run with 2GHz. Accordance with GPU und RAM. Then we know how huge the scatting in the production is and what clocks make sense to test with which risk.

here is some interesting stuff 4 u ;D

maybe it will help u to choose ur best setting
